How to Make a Felt Air Freshener with Heat Transfer Vinyl

January 31, 2023 by Laura Leave a Comment

If you’ve every wondered how to make a felt air freshener you’ve come to the right place. My original post How to Make Car Fresheners with Felt Blanks shows you step by step how I use sublimation to create fun, reusable felt air fresheners.

But what if you don’t have a sublimation printer? No problem! Did you know you can decorate felt fresheners with fabric paints? I have also experimented with making felt fresheners with Avery Inkjet Iron On Transfer Paper. Both are options if you don’t have access to sublimation prints and/or a heat press.

We have confirmed you can use fabric dye if on polyesters felt blanks, or you can choose from a rainbow of colors for our felt blanks.

Today we are going to show you how to make a felt air freshener using heat transfer vinyl (HTV)!

Felt air fresheners in a pile: Horizontal yellow rectangle with black text "Probably late for something", green four leaf clover that says "Good Luck Charm" in white glitter, and a red heart with black tiger stripes that says "love" in a glitter white script font.

If you are familiar with working with Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) it’s really quite easy…just follow the instructions for your vinyl. The felt is 100% polyester and HTV works very well with this material!

What I love most is that you can use a standard household iron to apply if you don’t have a heat press!

If you DO have access to a sublimation printer you can sublimate first, then add HTV later.

I used white glitter heat transfer vinyl and regular black heat transfer vinyl. The glitter seemed to be a tad bit easier to work with, transfer sheet peeled right off. The transfer paper with the black vinyl stuck a little more…I probably could have use a bit less heat/time/pressure. All in all, both worked beautifully!

I would highly recommend this method if you want to make a felt air freshener. It’s a quick and easy way to personalize, and makes a cute gift!
